Still River Wood Pellets
Still River Wood Pellets are manufactured in the Northeast and marketed as a hardwood-blend pellet fuel at a competitive price point. They’re bagged in 40-lb units and aimed at homeowners seeking a budget-friendly option for pellet stove heating.
Typical performance: While some users report acceptable heat output, user feedback indicates variations in burn quality, ash content and pellet consistency across production batches. Because the feed-stock mix and manufacturing may differ by run, results can vary.
Availability: These pellets are found through regional dealers and hardware stores in the Northeastern U.S., particularly in states like Massachusetts and Connecticut. As a value line, bag date, storage condition and freshness matter a lot for what you’ll get.
Status note: Still River remains listed in retail catalogs, however recent forum threads cite mixed satisfaction and some reported quality issues. If you go this route, it’s smart to test a small quantity early in the season.
Bottom line: If you’re on a tighter budget and your stove tolerates variable fuel quality, Still River Wood Pellets can work—but be prepared for higher cleanup or less consistency compared to premium pellet lines.
Alert for 12-29-25 – Some bad Still River Pellets were purchased from the Southington CT Lowes. Plastic or something blue fell into the die and pressed out with the pellets.
